What are good ADO.NET object(s) to replace the ADO Recordset object?

A

The differences includes
In ADO, the in-memory representation of data is the recordset.
In ADO.net, it is the dataset

A recordset looks like a single table in ADO
In contrast, a dataset is a collection of one or more tables in ADO.net

ADO is designed primarily for connected access
ADO.net the disconnected access to the database is used

In ADO you communicate with the database by making calls to an OLE DB provider.
In ADO.NET you communicate with the database through a data adapter (an OleDbDataAdapter, SqlDataAdapter, OdbcDataAdapter, or OracleDataAdapter object), which makes calls to an OLE DB provider or the APIs provided by the underlying data source.

In ADO you cant update the database from the recordset. ADO.NET the data adapter allows you to control how the changes to the dataset are transmitted to the database.
